Recipe Box, Spring Sheet Pan Zoodles & Pasta

When I’m in the “city” my son & I tag team dinners, consult on the menu and I try to do the shopping to help out

HHjr is a single Dad, and he takes care of our city house so HH & I can hang out at the beach as much as we want

HH is pretty happy staying on the coast all the time but I like to come back for part of every month to see family, friends and various other things

The other night HHjr said, “Hey Mom, just get some chicken breasts and something to go with them and we can get creative

He LOVES to cook, and we have a lot of fun challenging each other

He loves to pair chicken with pineapple, like in the giant Chicken & Pineapple Kebab above

I hit the produce section and grabbed a pineapple and then checked around to see what looked good

I couldn’t resist the fresh zucchini noodles, leeks and sugar snap peas

I decided to pair the vegetables with the Carrot Spirals and Lemon Ravioli I had in the freezer

The vegetables got tossed around on a foil lined sheet pan, drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with salt & pepper

After baking at 400 degrees for 20 minutes, I drizzled freshly squeezed lemon juice over the vegetables

Then topped the vegetables with the cooked ravioli, and added generous sprinkles of pine nuts and Parmesan cheese

Return pan to the oven for 3-5 minutes to melt cheese

This is a great family dish, even if you have picky eaters!

Big E is our resident bunny rabbit, he loves salad and vegetables, but is not a big fan of pasta

Super Boy is the opposite, all he wanted was pasta

Something for everybody and all on the same pan!

This was a great side dish paired with grilled chicken and pineapple

An easy, healthy, dinner with a rainbow of vegetables

    Sounds like a great dinner! I have to get into the habit of lining my pan with foil for easier clean-up:@)

  2. Jenna, this looks so good. We would never turn down any pasta dish. How fun that you and HHJr love to cook together. Happy Thursday!

    Gosh, that looks so good. We don’t have TJ’s anywhere near. I’ll need to look for that lemon ravioli and see if I can find another store’s brand, maybe. Saving the recipe anyway, thanks.

  4. Wow, that looks yummy!! No TJs near us, but I can grate some carrots and I just got a mandolin which will make short work of zucchini strips.

  5. That looks tasty and a really nice presentation!

  11. This looks so delicious Jenna. Just the two of us would make a meal off the sheet pan! I keep the lemon ravioli, so easy and tasty. Sounds like a good way to plan fun meals with the challenge. I’m sure HH is probably getting a little hungry for all those meals you whip up at the beach. Ahhh, the beach……….

    • Yes, definitely this could be a meal! I am crazy about TJ’s lemon ravioli, this is the first time I’ve had it. Don’t worry about HH, he’s always cooking too, and is probably enjoying the quiet and calm… Thanks Emily!
